my BF ute has a custom box on and when changing the rear tyres has to be jacked from front spring mount,, but if I had a flat tyre on the road the sizzor jack or even a bottle jack wont fit in there so Iam thinkibg a 4WD type exhaust jack and then a axle stand..... opinions please.

They are brilliant for getting a vehicle up off the ground but you just need to be careful of the surface you put them on as they are pretty much a big a$$ balloon and any sharp object can potentially kill the bag.

I think a 4wd jack would be better and cheaper.
